The GNI+ card has been developed by bioMerieux Vitek as an improvement over the GNI card for the identification of certain species of aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria. In this study, we tested 304 organisms from 30 different species on both the GNI and GNI+ cards. The GNI card correctly identified 285 (93.8%) of the isolates tested, and the GNI+ card correctly identified 287 (94.4%) of the isolates tested. The average time to reporting was 4.1 h for the GNI+ card compared to 5.7 h for the GNI card (P < 0.001). Overall, the GNI and GNI+ cards were comparable in identifying the organisms in this study while the GNI+ card gave substantially faster final test results.
生物梅里埃公司的Vitek部门开发了GNI+卡,作为对GNI卡的改进,用于鉴定某些需氧和兼性厌氧细菌物种。在本研究中,我们使用GNI卡和GNI+卡对来自30个不同物种的304株微生物进行了测试。GNI卡正确鉴定了285株(93.8%)测试菌株,GNI+卡正确鉴定了287株(94.4%)测试菌株。GNI+卡的平均报告时间为4.1小时,而GNI卡为5.7小时(P < 0.001)。总体而言,在本研究中,GNI卡和GNI+卡在鉴定微生物方面具有可比性,而GNI+卡能显著更快地给出最终测试结果。
